This letter from White came at a crucial point in history. It followed on from an earlier letter from Wessely which led to him being invited to give a presentation at a meeting, already arranged, at which Prof Thomas of the Royal Free was to give his views to a junior minister. It was only after that meeting that White wrote.

Unfortunately in the file for 1992/93 there is only an acknowledgment. The substantive response which must have been in the subsequent block of papers for 1994 would be interesting.

I think the papers are linked on the website of the Grace Charity. There was a recent thread on which the link was noted by @Countrygirl but at present I am in no fit state to find it.
